Indian Extermination | Since the military commander on the Plains have undertaken to exterminate
the Indians it is a matter of some interest to know the extent of the task.
The following statement gives the numbers of the different tribes unite
in the present confederation against the whites. Apaches ----------------7,000 Araparhoes -------------3,000 Blackfeet --------------6,000 Crows ------------------3,000 Comanches -------------20,000 Kiowas -----------------4,000 Cheyennes ------------- 2,500 Gross Mentres ------------500 Minatares --------------2,500 Navajoes --------------77,500 Sioux -----------------22,000 Total 78,000 These are only the prominent tribes, most of which are more or less hostiles and such as may not be drawn into the head will carry on the fight independently. Should the league be as complete as indicated, comprising many small tribes not above enumerated, it would possibly embrace 100,000 souls. This would enable Red Cloud to bring 25,000 to 30,000 warriors in the field, mostly well mounted and well armed. |

Indian Outrages | Intelligence of renewed outrages has been received at Junction City, on the Overland route via the Smoky Hill. 8ome 1,500 or 2,000 Cheyennes and Sioux are moving westward, it is supposed to escape Hancock. Some SO or 60 of them went to Look Out Station a few days ago, killed and scalped 3 men, burned the station and drove off the stock. Look Out is 16 miles from Fort Rays and 9 miles from Big Creek. They called at the next station and took all the flour and bacon; and two mules and part of his clothing from a traveler on the road. It is rumored that the Indians declared their intention of refusing to treat with Hancock but we imagine the women end old men left behind will make one just as satisfactory. |

Indians | Who talked of peace early in the Spring will speak no more such empty words until winter sets in again. This is their Christmas season for plunder and murder; their ponies live and fatten upon the luxurious prairie grass, which is found everywhere, rank and plentiful, confinement to any particular spot now would be to them the sorest punishment. They strike sudden blows, kill, scalp and pillage, and evade pursuit by choosing new camping ground every few hours. That a glorious time they are having at the expense of the poor pale face." |
